FacebookcameraappdifferenceswithInstagram

Facebook’s latest camera app even though has much functionality similar to that of Instagram has some differences too.

The first thing is that the photo filters option is not that impressive as that of Instagram

Instagram houses some of the best photo filters.
Facebook camera app filters are mainly focussed on the colour
temperature as well as contrast where as the Instagram combines various
elements together to give a variety feel for its filter options.

One of the major differences in Facebook Camera app
compared to Instagram is the presence of uploading capabilities which
allows any number of photos posted at the same time.

Another difference includes the photo feed capabilities in Facebook which is also much superior compared to that of Instagram

Instagram is more of a photo editing tool, where this new Facebook camera application acts as a photo collaboration tool.

Overall, Facebook Camera app for iOS is a very good package for the Facebook users to have on their iPhone or iPad.
